The Ginkgo Leaf scarf was knitted with Yarn Art Flower Alpaca yarn, which is made with 20% Alpaca and 80% Acrylic. What sets this scarf apart is the ombre yarn that gives it a truly unique and impressive coloration.
The lace scarf may look intricate, but don't be discouraged, it's actually not difficult to knit at all. With a little initial focus and attention, anyone can knit this stunning scarf.I used 1.5 cakes of yarn to knit this scarf, which measures approximately 20 inches by 120 inches ^^.
To begin, use knitting needles in US size 6 and cast on 111 stitches (or a multiple of 18 stitches plus 3)
Row 1 (RS): Knit.
Row 2 (WS): P1, k109, p1.
Row 3: K1, p1, (yo, k2tog) ×54, k1.
Row 4: P1, k109, p1.
Row 5: K1, p1, (k17, p1) ×6, k1.
Row 6: P1, (k1, p17) ×6, k1, p1.
Row 7: K1, p1, (k2tog, k6, yo, k1, yo, k6, ssk, p1) ×6, k1.
Row 8: P1, (k1, ssp, p13, p2tog) ×6, k1, p1. (99 sts)
Row 9: K1, p1, (k2tog, k4, (yo, k1) ×3, yo, k4, ssk, p1) ×6, k1. (111 sts)
Row 10: P1, (k1, ssp, p13, p2tog) ×6, k1, p1. (99 sts)
Row 11: K1, p1, (k2tog, k2, (yo, k1) ×7, yo, k2, ssk, p1) ×6, k1. (135 sts)
Row 12: P1, (k1, ssp, p17, p2tog) ×6, k1, p1. (123 sts)
Row 13: K1, p1, (k2tog, k15, ssk, p1) ×6, k1. (111 sts)
Row 14: P1, (k1, p17) ×6, k1, p1.
Row 15: K1, p1, (k17, p1) ×6, k1.
Row 16: P1, k109, p1.
Row 17: K1, p1, (yo, k2tog) ×54, k1.
Row 18: P1, k109, p1.
Repeat rows 5-18 until you reach desired length.
Bind off loosely, weave in ends.
You also can start at row 5 and repeat rows 5-18, then finish with row 14.

Beautiful shawl! How many meter for this?
ReplyDeleteThanks for liking! The ombre scarf is 120 inches long, about 1400m of yarn. I think that if you use DK yarn, you'll only need 1000m to knit a scarf of moderate length.
DeleteSsp is slip, slip, purl
